The May Challenge

Welcome to the May challenge! This month we are inviting you to create anything you like incorporating EYES!

Your eyes can be human, animal or fantasy. Of course, we mean glass, plastic, polymer clay, ceramic etc, not real eyes! You could even bead an eye shape using seed beads, or create one from wire etc. Please note that the focus of this challenge (excuse the pun!) is on eyes and they must be clearly recognizable as such. Faces, although they contain eyes, won't count and neither will cat's eye beads, although you can certainly use these in addition to your chosen 'eye/s'. Evil eye beads are accepted as eyes.

If you have any further questions about what is or isn't allowed for this challenge then please email us at the address below.

This month our sponsor is Celia and she's offering £15 to spend in her online shop Jencel!
